Public Perspectives Exhibition Series

Brooklyn Redrawn

Artists & Curators: Sarah Bostwick, Rebecca Layton, and Karla Wozniak

Brooklyn Redrawn The architectural face of Brooklyn is in constant flux. Older buildings crumble and are torn down as new developments proliferate, sometimes seemingly overnight. Brooklyn artists Sarah Bostwick, Rebecca Layton, and Karla Wozniak all draw upon Brooklyn's past and present urban structures to convey the visual complexity of competing commercial, architectural, and real estate interests in the borough in which they work and live. All three artists have in common an interest in the specific aesthetic details and local vernacular that makes up Brooklyn. They each use drawing as a method for observing, documenting, and interpreting the past, present, and future of the Brooklyn landscape.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 7, 5:30 – 7:30 PM

On view: Extended

Fulton Mall -Karla Wozniak

Public Perspectives has been made possible by a generous grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation with additional support from the Independence Community Foundation.
